Edison Pioneers

Edison Pioneers var en gruppe tidligere ansatte og andre assosiert med Thomas Edison. Den 11. februar 1918 møttes disse Edison Pioneers for første gang på Edisons 71-årsdag. Det var 37 menn tilstede på det første møtet. Edison selv var ikke tilstede, det ble opplyst at han «was engaged in important government service». Man undret seg på om han arbeidet på et militært prosjekt siden første verdenskrig fortsatt pågikk.
